The serial number and model number can be found on a sticker on the bottom of the molded plastic tray, the CPSC said.
They were sold by Johnson Fitness & Wellness, DICK’s Sporting Goods and Best Buy, as well as online by BowFlex and Amazon from 2004 to May 2025 by either Nautilus or Johnson Health Tech Trading. They cost between $200 and $800, the CPSC said.
Johnson Health Tech purchased BowFlex assets during a bankruptcy auction, which included the trademark rights to market and sell he dumbbells.
The company, in a statement emailed to Cox Media Group, said that 95% of the recalled dumbbells were sold by Nautilus over 20 years and before Johnson Health Tech purchased the brand.
“Despite having no obligation to do so, Johnson Health Tech Trading is stepping up to provide a remedy to customers who purchased recalled dumbbells from Nautilus. We are also providing a remedy to the much smaller universe of customers who purchased BowFlex 552 and 1090 dumbbells that our company distributed or sold. Expanding this voluntary recall to include Nautilus customers who would otherwise have no recourse available is in line with our company’s deep commitment to helping our customers lead healthy lives,” the company said in a statement.
If you have the recalled dumbbells, you’re told not to use them and contact Johnson Health Tech Trading for a refund or replacement.
For more information, contact Johnson Health by phone at 800-209-3539 from 8 a.m. to 7 p.m. CT, Monday through Friday, by email or online.
